For the syrup: Place the sliced and seeded chilies in a saucepan with the water and sugar on medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Once boiled turn the heat off and add pineapple chunks. Allow to infuse for 10 minutes. Remove the chilies and allow the pineapples to infuse for an additional 50 minutes. Strain. Pineapple chili syrup can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
